Sierra v Cortina Column
cheetah - 10/2/09 at 10:24 AM

Was wondering if someone in the land of Sierra could tell me if the bottom of the Sierra Column is triangular and the same dimensions as a (i think) Mk 3/4 Cortina - we called them TC/D down here in Oz. I wanted to know if I could use a coupling like this.. Rescued attachment RD850Prod.jpg

Thanks Thierry
im also on ozclubbies (tando) just trying to refine some elements of the Puma I am building. using a sierra to escort spline coupling I can then run a simple shaft with escort spline both ends down to the rack, no welding etc to worry about.
